Sea Salt for Headaches

As a mum, I’m always juggling a million things, and I’ve learned that headaches can often be the result of something as simple as low sodium. It was a bit of a surprise to me, but once I started paying attention, I realized that adding a little sea salt to my daily routine really helps with both preventing and relieving my headaches.

The Role of Salt in the Body

Here’s what I’ve learned: Sea salt helps maintain the balance of fluids and electrolytes in our bodies. Sodium plays a critical role in regulating things like water balance, blood pressure, and even muscle and nerve function. When sodium levels drop, it can throw things out of balance, and that’s when headaches can strike. It’s a simple thing that many of us overlook, but it makes a big difference.

Many people use sea salt in their baths (sometimes mixed with Epsom salts) to help detoxify and relax. The minerals, like magnesium and sodium, can help ease muscle tension, which is another common cause of headaches.

How I Use Sea Salt for Relief

For me, adding just a small pinch of sea salt to my water bottle throughout the day has made a noticeable difference. It’s a simple change, but I’ve found that staying hydrated and getting a little extra salt really helps keep my headaches under control. It’s not a cure-all, but it’s definitely something that works for me.
